I have a hybrid for about two month. Great small pickup car. I used to love it by the time i stock in snow driving uphill. Than, i felt embarrassed and powerful, my maverick Hybrid love start to fade. (something like this - you got the drama. 😥 )
Next, I got home and asked myself. Why I got 2WD...
1. on hybrid, right under the hood all terminals that are screwed to the body and one under back seat (battery minus terminal wire)
2. I always mix oil with porsche cayenne for last 16 years. For Maverick hybrid. in winter i do mix 5:1 ration and in summer i would do 2:5. 5w30 is 1.7 times...
Can you imagine how boring this forum would be without such people? I don't think you can google some thing like: it is good to have metal particles suspended in engine oil because it sands internal engine surfaces smooth like using sandpaper to sand a wood floor. This is not google. ENGINEER...
How about multiple choice question:
a) Ask my ENGINEER
b) Ask any commercial delivery person.
c) Ask any police or highway patrol person.
d) Don't necessarily ask your dealer.
chose one :p
John, please do not delete your comments. let's listen very carefully to GPSMan advise. Seriously, he talks to reputable ENGINIERS (all capital letters) that graduated from college!
it is brilliant idea to introduce metal during brake-in period. How about upper cylinder.
Do we need to polish...
There is actually very nice test were done by project farm with k&n filter. results are as expected. it is not scientific ISO test but Project farm is using nice setup Dylos Laser Particle Counter - Laser based air quality monitor that shows 5 microns or larger particles in air filtration. I...
You are so wrong about K&N. but i like that you change your narrative. it means you learn.
K&N will be in business because they make good filters for racing / performance especially for older cars. Adequate filtration :love: this is a joke. it is four times below OEM Specifications, no wait...
Agreed, they give good air filtration and good airflow. What is the best aftermarket filter for 2.5. is it too soon for aftermarket filters like Wix, Purolator ? is it too soon and aftermarket have not made an air filter yet for 2.5 hybrid?
I just called K&N to obtain micron rating for K&N 33-3131 that is for Maverick 2.0 EB engine.
K&N tech support told me that they don't do Micron rating for 20 microns. K&M only test 10 microns test that are 22% effective! Please see image below. Don't they? of course they do have 20 microns ISO...
@GPSMan #1 purpose of an air filter is to filter air. K&M is not filtering fine particles. Comparing 40 microns to soft deposits 150 microns is not a comparison. two different animals.
You may compare K&N filter to Strainers 😭
Looking for the best air filter for an engine air filtration or best air filter for performance?
There are two types of filters that people will consider. a) performance filters b) High-efficiency filters.
Let's look at two categories:
a) Performance air filters
Performance air filters will...
:ROFLMAO: Keep large debris out? like gravel and rocks. 😭Clearly not. K&N are definitely filter rockes and bees :love:. Good filter is a filter that filters air from certain size particles. Project farm statistics that @GPSMan is referencing above are collected on Dylos Laser Particle Counter -...
:D @GPSMan who said that fixing EGR is against the law? Removing EGR or blocking EGR "maybe" it is. fixing is not against the law. We are discussing PCV and EGR problem here.:ROFLMAO:
